Hanno, this is brilliant.

I rely heavily on using XMPP notifications with my Emacs/Org setup for
appointments. I run a local program for send-xmpp to fire off messages
that alert my multiple PC's and my cell phone on my XMPP account.

I hadn't considered sending data BACK. That's awesome!

How hard would it be to port this to a message agnostic style where
other methods could be used?

I've used Jami before, but I consider it VOIP software trying to
become messenger, where XMPP is messenger trying to become VOIP. I've
had battery problems in the past with Jami, but that was back when it
was called Ring.

I may have to try and adapt this to my workflow.

Thanks for sharing!
